Running at Disneyland

[Marathongirl30]

My DH and I are taking our first trip to Disneyland California and are in the middle of training for our spring marathon. I there a good place to run? We are staying at the Disneyland Hotel and prefer not to use the treadmill if at all possible.

There's plenty of sidewalk running available, you could do the simple, circuit around the resort, (Harbor, Katella, Disneyland Dr, Ball) loop or you could out and back on city streets.

my cousins lived a few miles out Katella to the west and it was all flat with long blocks... boring, but runnable.

I also usually always run that loop.when I am there When I went early morning and it want yet daylight the trees all along one side were lit up which made it quite pleasant.

personally I'm doing 7:30 to 10 or 12 each day at Disneyland and getting 30-40k steps in, I move my longer runs out of my Disneyland trips, I just don't have time and energy.

I read this as 7:30 pace for 10-12 miles

it's what it feels like. There's just a different daily intensity at disneyland because the park is open longer and we're there shorter lengths than WDW.
